PodcastNFL Week 1 Predictions: Every Game + Fantasy Starts & Sits!September 11, 2026

From the episode

Christian McCaffrey, who had 10 carries compared to Kalen Black's 16. Like, that is insane. McCaffrey had five catches, sure. But, you know, they're not. And I think it's actually smart with McCaffrey. Because he's 30. Like, you don't want to run to the ground after all the carries he had last year.

The source notes a concerning trend for Christian McCaffrey, who saw only 10 carries compared to Kalen Black's 16. While acknowledging the team's likely intent to preserve the 30-year-old back, the source highlights this as part of a broader, frustrating committee trend.
